There are seeders like the one described here for the paper chainpot transplanting system (which is excellent for onions).  Video showing the seeder can be seen at:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the video.  I use this system (that's me in the video by the way) and do not use pelleted seed.  Pelleted seed would be preferable but my sources for onion seed do not offer it that way and I am not at a large enough scale to warrant sending my seed somewhere where it could be pelleted.  I also use this seeder for spinach, beets, kohlrabi, etc.
